I always thought it was interesting that this story didn’t hit the national media until about a month after it happened. And that happened because bloggers and assorted race baiters kept pushing the story, because of the alleged racial angle. These race baiters were too stupid to know that Zimmerman was Hispanic, but when that inconvenient truth came to light, the media declared that he was a white Hispanic, so they could continue to play up the racist angle.
If the shooter in this case had been black, and the victim a “White Hispanic”, the national media would never have picked up this story. If both people had been of the same ethnic/racial background, the media would not have picked up this story.
The only reason this because a national story in the first place is because it was pushed into the media by people with a social/political agenda. Black men get shot every day, mostly by other black men, and it’s not national news.
They still are ignoring Zimmerman's black ancestry.
The media has another agenda. They know that the more-than-likely acquittal of Zimmerman will lead to riots, which they will then cover.
It is, and always was, the media that drummed this up in the first place.
Yup. If Zimmerman had been black, or if Martin had succeeded in killing him, this story wouldn’t have made it beyond local news.
I’m not holding out a lot of hope on Zimmerman being acquitted, but I think he’s innocent of murder. And either way I won’t shed a tear over a dead ghetto thug.
